Using your Walthers EMD GP9 Phase II locomotive is a breeze. For DC operation, make sure to use a power pack that doesn't exceed 18V to avoid issues with the decoder. When setting up for DCC, you can take advantage of the various functions like the 4 function outputs and different speed steps. You can change the airhorns and bells using the CVs. To keep your locomotive in top shape, regularly clean the wheels with a soft cloth to ensure good electrical contact. The body can be dusted gently. If you want to add grab irons, use the GP9 Phase II Diesel Detail Kit (#910 - 258 sold separately) with the molded drill starter points on the model. And remember, this is a limited - quantity item, so handle it with care to enjoy it for years to come.
